Research topics from publications: The relationship of interleukin‐6 and C‐reactive protein with left ventricular geometry and function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and pre‐hypertension; Association between triglyceride glucose index and all-cause mortality in patients with critical atrial fibrillation in the MIMIC-IV database; Inflammatory cytokines and their correlations with different left ventricular geometries and functions in PHT patients; The relationship of superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde levels with left ventricular geometry and function in patients with primary hypertension. Representative work: OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels with left ventricular geometry (LVG) and function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and pre-hypertension. METHODS: A total of 458 patients were assigned into four groups: normal geometry (NG), concentric remodeling (CR), eccentric hypertrophy (EH), and concentric hypertrophy (CH). Pearson correlation and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the correlation between IL-6, CRP, and clinical, polysomnographic, and biochemical parameters with LVG and function. RESULTS: IL-6 and CRP levels were higher in the EH and CH groups than those in the NG and C Although several studies have demonstrated the relationship between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF), more attention needs to be paid to patients with AF in intensive care units because the prevalence of AF is as high as one-third of the population. This study investigated the relationship between the TyG index and short-term prognosis in patients with critical care AF. We selected critically ill patients with AF from the MIMIC-IV database and categorized them into quartiles based on their TyG index levels. The primary outcome assessed was 30-day all-cause mortality, with secondary outcomes of 7-day and 15-day all-cause mortality. We utilize
